Björk - History of Touches 

I don't know why, but the beats in this song make me think of something flickering in malfunction, trying to absorb any vital energy in order to stay alive, trying to stand up but not being able to and crumbling down, then gradually dwindling out of weakness until it's completely dematerialized and non-existent.

The duration of this MASTERPIECE is a great example of “quality over quantity”

“This is our last time together.” Even though I’ve heard this song many times that line for some reason always makes me feel such deep sadness in my chest.

It's incredible how her voice has not changed at all in 20 years

Maaan Bjork was ahead of her time in the 90's and she is still ahead of our time now, this just sounds like music from the future to me

I wake you up In the middle of the night To express my love for you Stroke your skin and feel you Naked I can feel all of you At the same moment I wake you up In the night feeling This is our last time together Therefore sensing all the moments We’ve been together Being here at the same time Every single touch We ever touch each other Every single fuck We had together Is in a wondrous time lapse With us here at this moment The history of touches Every single archive Compressed into a second All with us here as I wake you up

Am I the only one who changes shapes when I listen to this song?

arca's contribution to this album really stands out in some of these tracks, absolutely sublime, i really hope they do more work together in the future

All through this record you can feel her sorrow... and then realize how much her husband hurt her... I really hope that Vulnicura has helped her to heal her wound. A love that ends can be excruciating.

Going through a breakup. This song hits home.

This song is so simple but it’s so profound. It’s truly the only thing you can feel at a moment like this. It’s heartbreaking

you know, when jork talks about sex, she often talks about it an a very poetic way which I completely admire about her.

I wake you up, in the middle of the night...

Btw. In my opinion, it's one of the best lyrics written by her. It always moves me so much

this one always had me torn apart.

This track brings me straight back to homogenic. Reminds me of all neon like

this one of the best she's ever written, how does she keep going like this?

I have never felt this depressed.

There's something very profound about the use of stitches and colour... the embroidery stitches in the art work for this... it's as if the spring like colours reflect a new awakening from what has died before...when I think about the ancient way of producing purple involved the death of thousands of mollusks, I can relate that to Björk's feelings about the death of her marriage... extremely painful and protracted...

arca is a hero

Arca's contribution is prominent

I don't know why exactly I have to come here listen this song when I need to cry. I don't have yet any experiences like this, like the dying love and its compression in one second in a bed, a sacred and self-explained place of love, but somehow, this music interpretates me, my pain, something that I don't know how to understand but I feel. Maybe I'm identifying with the dying of a construction planned and espontaneous, maybe its melancholy brings me here. It's completely strange to me, but I feel this song describe me, better, alegorize my life, my whole life.

this song is absolutely beautiful

Absolutely gorgeous song. I listened to this right before passing out on a plane, it was perfect.

Absolute masterpiece!

I can’t read notes but I think Björk’s use of melody and notes is one of the most unique ever, is this even sung in a key or is she just hopping back and forth in different ones? Also in “The Gate”, it just sounds like nothing else ever made.

I listened to "Lionsong" and liked it, but just heard this track after it now that I just got the full album. It was such a trippy experience to hear for the first time. The music is so intense and deep.

I get a big Earthbound feel with this song. Really awesome. :)

one of her bests

This tune is WAYYY too short, too gorgeous to end so soon! (and it's not on the 'strings' album?!?!)

This ties with Stonemilker as my fav song on Vulnicura😍👌

Always I hear this song I feel an earthquake inside my head

there's almost no emotion in her voice in this song, lyrics are quite simple and touching but her tone is quite dull, as if she is trying to distance herself from it all

Perhaps it's weird but sounds from this song somehow remind me of aurora. It's like something intangible...

This song still brings me to tears.

Sé que algún día llegarás a esta canción y me recordarás. Te quiero siempre.

i could loop this song all night

so deep.

This song should be longer

so beautiful

This song sounds like the OST of a Futuristic movie

beautiful music :)

What a masterpiece

See you soon. Luv from Kenya.

Hats off

Very good. I really love the stranges sounds . My dream instrumental version ^^ I hope one day to a reissue of all the album of bjork , instrumental .

wait, did i just hear "fuck"?

best song on Vulni for sure.

I love it

Esta canción me parece la mejor del álbum!! BJÖRK es una genio!!

Wow!

Love is timeless

Beautiful to fold intimately on a love at the end, you can not give it better to the listener.

Para mim o melhor disco da Bjork depois dos Sugarcubes

bjork is great sweet

beautiful name

Modest viewing figures surprise.

Please dont go..

A juxtaposition in fate Find our mutual coordinates Moments of clarity are so rare I better document this Across the view is fears All that matters is Who is open-chested And who has coagulated Who can share and Who has shot down the chances? Show me emotional respect, oh respect, oh respect And I have emotional needs, oh needs, oh ooh I wish to synchronize our feelings, our feelings, oh ooh What is it that I have That makes me feel your pain? Like milking a stone To get you to say it, and Who is open? And who has shut up And if one feels closed How does one stay open? We have emotional needs, oh needs, oh needs, oh ooh I only wish to synchronize our feelings, our feelings, ooh I'll show some emotional respect, oh respect, oh ooh A juxtaposition in fate Find our mutual coordinates

ouch

Is this where Porter Robinson got his inspiration from?

my boyfriend broke up with me im drunk and smoked half a pack of virginia slims

Really.... She said FUCK in her song... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Amazing!!! I was listening.... And then... "EVERY FUCK TOGETHER" Hhahahahahahahahhhahaha Jesus I'M LAUGHING ULTIL MY LAST PARENTS DIE!!! Hahahahahahahahahah

I might be the only person that thinks this is her worse song. I feel like the melody could have been written by a three year old. Stone milker is heart wrenching and then there's this.

Meh...this is one of the few Bjork tracks where her lyrics come across as lame and forced, and her vocals could use some reverb or something... Dig that glitchy arpy backing track though.

Bjork has done nothing interesting or worth listening since Vespertine; some songs from her later albums are ok but for me the later albums are absolutely boring, no melodies, no concrete rhythms or beats, I was a huge fan up to Vespertine, not anymore.

I wake you up in the middle of the night To express my love for you Stroke your skin and feel you Naked I can feel all of you At the same moment I wake you up in the night Feeling this is our last time together Therefore sensing all the moments We've been together Being here at the same time Every single touch we ever touch each other Every single fuck we had together Is in a wondrous time lapse With us here here at this moment The history of touches Every single archive Compressed into a second All with us here as I wake you up
